Phillies manager Dallas Green caused friction with Joe Torre after a 5-2 victory that ended Philadelphia's four game skid. Green said the Mets played like the Mets, prompting Torre to dismiss the remark as nonsensical and unworthy of a response. Torre asserted his team would not be affected personally and defended his players' character.
